Description:
Began publishing in 1915; mid-level fan magazine on par with Movie Classic and Screenland. Cost a twenty five cents an issue up until pricing pressure from New Movie (c. 1932) incited an across-the-board price decrease to 10 cents. Merged with Charm in 1941, which would later become Glamour magazine (1959). -- Anne Helen Petersen, 2013.

Formerly he was on the stage. Thanks to Denmark For these eight native sons, all of whom have given a lot to the American movie fans Though a fellow countryman of Hamlet, there's nothing melancholy about Kit Guard — see the F. B. O. two-reelers. Otto Matiesen, above, also hails from Denmark. His latest role is in "The Beloved Rogue." Then there's Anders Randolf, left, the noted artist who acts in the movies on the side — for instance, in "The Black Pirate." And Benjamin Christianson, right, is another Dane who has been lending his talents to Hollywood— as a director. You don't need an introduction to Karl Dane. His performance in "The Big Parade" put Denmark on the map. Jean Hersholt's name is now a byword among fans of this country, but few realize he was christened in Denmark.
